Dangit, runDisney, you got me again! Despite my self-avowed wariness of challenges (which I have admittedly reneged on a lot), and despite my desire to save a little money for other things, runDisney just had to do it to me: for 2023, the Two Course Challenge is themed to FIGMENT. Figment!! I love Figment!!!!! Which is how, stupidly, I...

Right so, when we left off this trip report, I had just finished up the 2023 Walt Disney World Marathon and taken a bus back to All-Star Sports. As is often the case for me, I was craving...

Continue readingHow I Almost Missed My WDW Trip
Holy smokes, kids; this is NOT NOT NOT the pre-trip WDW post I expected to write. I almost had to skip it entirely and IT. WAS. TERRIFYING. What happened, you ask? A sudden injury? A death? A work obligation? No! It was that most mundane emergency of the present decade: COVID exposure. Over the last week, I have tested...

Man, I feel like I’m coming off kinda conceited just typing that post title. “How to get good runDisney photos.” Like I would know, right? Oddly enough, though, I’ve had more than one person ask me how my running photos always look so good, which, first of all: remember the #1 rule of Instagram. YOU ARE ONLY SEEING WHAT...

Continue readingRace Schedule: The Next Generation
I haven’t enumerated my race schedule since October, so I’d say we’re well past due for an update! I mean, not that you can really trust me – the race schedule I plunk down on paper blog post doesn’t always jive with what actually comes to pass. But you’re not above engaging with some wild speculation with me, are...
Continue readingAn Open Letter To runDisney
The runDisney support contact form only allows like 3 paragraphs before it cuts off, so upon publication of this post I will be sending them a link. I will also tag them on social media in the hopes someone on the runDisney team might read it. I am also interested to hear what my fellow runDisney runners think about...
